 |
|
does anyone here know how to use ucon64 to convert a file greater than 32M into a GD3 file? Any file under 32M works fine but tales of phantasia gives me an error saying file > 32M. Conversion not implemented.
can anyone help so I can try out this game? |

| Tales of Phantasia does not have a special chip. If uCON64 is not splitting right you should try Insnest (or get the newest release of uCON64) |

I have the latest version of ucon64. As well to that I am not trying to split the rom as I want to transfer it via parallel into the unit. The only part I am having trouble with is converting the .smc to GD3 format using ucon64. It says the rom is >32M therefore conversion not implemented.
Tales of phantasia is the only game I believe to be over 32M besides star ocean. |

Like I asked in the other thread, what information does uCON64 display? If you post the output of uCON4 I can perhaps see what the problem is. Don't leave parts out or else I might miss crucial information.

Daikaijuu Monogatari 2 and Tengai Makyou Zero (Far East of Eden Zero) are also larger than 32 Mbit. DM can be played on the GDSF7. |

I am referring to the ROM info :-)
I will reply to the other message here, because it is a bit annoying to conversate in two threads at once :-)

No, but school has started again. And there are other things that need my attention. |

Thanks. That made it clear. Use -erom when converting. So convert with a command like this:
| Code: | | ucon64 -gd3 -erom top.smc |
Let me know if it works :-)
BTW good that you use a SNES DAT file. |

ah sweet my friend!
It worked perfectly. I had no clue about the -erom. What exactly is that?
and yes I use the DAT file. I know you are always pushing for people to use that.
I am wondering what exactly that file is for however?
thanks again matey. I'm off to play this game now
=D |

I never have had this answered either so while I'm on a role I'll as again.
What is the maximum cable length you can have in terms of connecting your PC to a GD7?
thanks |

It tells uCON64 to handle the file as an "Extended" HiROM file. Extended HiROM games need to be handled differently compared to normal games.
| rippin snare wrote: | | and yes I use the DAT file. I know you are always pushing for people to use that. |
Am I? :-) Well, it is in their own interest. By using a DAT file you have much more certainty about the game you are dealing with. You always need an external reference to be sure about the "identity" of a file.
| rippin snare wrote: | | I am wondering what exactly that file is for however? |
To identify files.

You're welcome. Have fun :-)

I don't think the spec allows for cables much longer than 2 meters. However, I'm not a hardware expert so I might be wrong. I don't advise using a long cable while using the GDSF3 protocol to transfer games to your GDSF7. The GDSF3 is not very well designed which results in you knowing there was an error only every 8 Mbit. The GD also doesn't know about possible errors other than that some "control" bytes have incorrect values (which results in messages like "File size error"). Those control bytes are sent before every block of 8 Mbit. |

yea I guess your right. My snes isnt that near to my comp so I bought a 20ft cable off ebay. IT didn't work and it kept dropping when the sf7 was splitting the rom. What a waste of money. Now I have this sightly 10 ft cable right across the flook =/. Oh well it works.
One last thing. Will ucon64 ever support success/ufo CD64 N64 backup unit? |

Maybe. Some guy contacted Dirk about a CD64 library he had written for GNU/Linux. If the code would be integrated into uCON64 it would work on any platform supported by uCON64.
The bad news is that Dirk hasn't heard from that guy for more than a month. |
